Here is a copy of the letter Dead Angel3 sent to the nobles of Minas Ithil:
After all those years serving my realm on the various battlefields my task as king brought me too, i have fallen for a mysterious illness and my healers do not give me much hope, i soon will not be able to forfill my tasks as king anymore.
I will at the end of the month retire from my duties as i then soon will be too weak to and as i have no heir i will let the kingdom decide who they want to as my successor. After the election, i hopefully still have time to inform my successor about the diplomatic relations of our realm
Dead Angel3 in a later letter says he would like to hold a tournament, and in another letter requests a time of peace to celebrate the tournament:
I would like to hold a goodbye tournament, where i will participate as a knight myself after i have stepped down.
I have been a longtime King of Minas Ithil and i would like to ask you if we could have a truce period, during the time that i give my farewell tournament, so that the warriors of Minas Ithil have time to celebrate together with me.

Finally, Dead Angel3 thanks the rulers of the Northern Federation for allowing the tournament to go ahead:
